How would you spell a woman's name pronounced "el-eese"
(like the letters L and E, then an sssss sound)
What do you think of it as a name?
We are never, never, ever going to name this baby. We barely named the last one and landed on a named we'd mulled over for a decade. He doesn't like any other good names.
My phonetic spelling sucks. (I should have taken a linguistics course). But it looks like people default to Elise, not Elyce.
Beethoven overrules all else. Für Elise.
See, that is part of the appeal for me. I like it spelled Elise, but not Elyce. I was afraid that would be the default though. The other kid's name shows up in the name of a piece of classical music too :-)
DH likes fluffy, fussy names. I really want something short and simple. This is both and goes well with DDs name. I really want Emily but that isn't happening. I have to move on. I thought this sounded girly enough he might just consider it.

Elise or Elyse. If we had a daughter we would have named her Elizabeth and nn'd her Elise.
I have a friend who's daughter is named Alyse. I hate that spelling. There was an actress whose first name was spelled Allyce (same pronunciation). I hate that spelling even more.

Story of my life when we were naming both our kids. Freaking crazy ass cousin on H's side....
I loved Elise as well both times.
Other ideas that I loved in the same genre: Annelise Annmarie Elyssa (however this was not a real option for us to use)
